Put the total amount of votes aside and what you have is a 6.2% higher approval rating for clinton than bush.
Now, if you look at all the votes in this election....sure he had the most votes for him, but he also had the most against him. The only thing which matters is 1) he won and 2) % he won by, 3%.
Think about that..
Clinton wins by 9.2% of the popular vote
Bush wins by 3% of the popular vote
If you dont see the difference you're about as dumb as Bush
